first randy now this. omg.
I jumped on the Houston Alexander train, (my mistake) ive jumped on the KenFlo train when he beat Joe, ive BEEN on the Lesnar train since i heard his MMA debut and i ordered that PPV! But i have NEVER NEVER been on the Fedor train. Why? Because i think hes a wash back fighter. Not p4p nothing, he just uses speed and beats up people bigger then him. Also he may be the anti-christ.
also Fedor is in blue.
Fedor lost on points, not on beat down. Big difference.
white gerbil1 you Piece of S***, were do you live?
White Gerbil1: You suck at flaming; you try much too hard while being entirely uneloquent. Stop trying to copy Black Gerbil.
White Gerbil1 keep jumping on trains and following hype because your knowledge in this sport is limited, judging from your stupid remarks about Fedor! If you knew the sport you followed instead of following fighters purely because it seems like the right train to hang on to, you would understand what a superior fighter Fedor is! He has the busiest schedule in MMA leaving very little time for him to train for a small profiting Sambo tournament. He is P4P the best fighter by far!
take it easy guys
its not like this is his first loss in combat sambo..
btw gerbil
“he just uses speed and beats up people bigger then him” – yes, lesnar is so much better, he “beats up” people smaller than him
I don’t know Sambo but the guy in red one that fight…on the other hand in a true MMA fight this would have gone on for a bit longer and it seemed that Fedor’s boxing was getting alot sharper and was more relaxed than the guy in red towards the end…anyway who cares right? Fedor would rock Lesnar’s tight buttocks…lol
I would brag if I beat Fedor at checkers, but to beat him at Sambo….that’s something to be proud of. Doesn’t mean he’s washed up or that he’s over rated or anything like that. He’s still one of the best fighters to ever live.
White Gerbel1 you f..ktard.Shows what you know about fedor,your judging him on this stupid sambo lost.
Fedor beats up everyone and will continue to do so. He is far above and beyond Alexander Houston, KenFlo, and Lesnar. The only person I know of that could even be remotely compared to Fedor is Mir before his motorcycle accident, when he was unbeatable. I hope he gets his belt back and gets back to his old ways of domination.
Yeah he would get crashed on an MMA fight since you´ve either got a ring or the cage, therefore you wont be able to step out of the circle to save your ass.
combat sambo is fedors background…. cleary not the best fighter in the world if he can’t even win a tourney in his own discipline, Arlovski by TKO by cut in the first…. you heard it here ppl..
Possibly the lamest combat sport ever…
FFs ppl chill out its not like its his first Sambo loss, Sambo amd MMA are two completely differant things… Lol at ” WhiteGerbil 1 ” tho… U Jump on the hype train alot bcoz u dont have a fucking clue what ur talking about… Learn a bit about Fedor then judge,
” He beats guys bigger than him with speed… “
yo white gerbil! do yourself and everyone a favor and jump in front of the train next time.
buf !!!that is nothing …… i lost in sambo with the same guy and then i beat him in vale-tudo …..
so fedor still is the best!!!
fedor is just human,he can lose but he will always be the best fighter in mma history
Dont get mad at Black or White Gerbil, it is what they are trying to get you to do. STOP FALLING FOR IT!
did someone just compare frank mir to fedor? =/
frank mir on his best day with an overshield and berserker rage couldnt compare to fedor.
Probs to this bulgarian guy! I think beating Fedor is the biggest acomplishment one can have in this sport, he can stop fighting now
Thx 4 Post!
Hey White Gerbil, do us a favor and stop jumping on trains and start jumping in front of them. You can take black gerbil with you.
LOL, I bet in a draw next UFC event: white gerbil1 vs black gerbil1. Probably will be like two Kalib Starnes fighting. Anyway. I’m confused now, the White gerbil1’s comments looks like the old comments from Black gerbil1. I think B gerbil1 is playing two characters and you guys are buying it.
damn he got tooled. I think all that time off fighting cans has left him rusty. Or else the game has passed him by. He should retire now while his MMA legacy is
intact at least
Brock!!!
Sambo competitons are gay, Fedor wasn’t allowed to soccer kick his oppoenent in the head while he was laying on the ground
white and black gerbils are the same man
“can’t we all just get along.”
-R.K.
i cant believe sum1 came up with the idea of callin themselves white gerbil lol wat an idiot. well in fact both gerbils are but least black was slightly humorous 2 start with.
sambo has alot of rules that are different then MMA that doesnt give the fighter alot of freedom but anyways:
1- watch that guy slips outside the circle every time he is in bad situation
2- the head helmets.
3- its not the first loss to fedor in sambo championship but ppl are trying to find any loss to fedor to set him back to human level but he isnt!.
white gerbil1, is that you paperchaser?
lol funny how UFC nuthuggers jump on this right away, fact is there’s better competition in Sambo for Fedor then there is in MMA, i think this proves it, maybe its why he’s dominated mma all these years
It’s just a sambo tournament.. Not mma.. Sambo tournaments include different strategies and rules than PRIDE or UFC.. Regardless of his loss, it won’t affect his mma record or his reputation.
Good for Ivanov what a feather in his cap! If anyone thinks this loss means anything about Fedor’s status as the top MMA fighter in the world they are out of their minds.
Fedor is the mythical beast every man fighting in combat sports wants to slay. Good luck to all of them, Fedor is human but I haven’t seen one guy yet that I think will beat him in an MMA fight.
i wish i knew the rules of sambo matches. but it does look like a cool martial art.
At the present Mir is no comparison to Fedor, however, before Mir’s had to give up the belt due to his accident, he was unstoppable. Those were probably his best days and it is unlikely he will get back to that level. That was back when he was breaking people’s bones and such. If only we could take the Mir of then and put him in front of Fedor. That would be a good fight.
On the other hand, lets just put Lesnar in front of Fedor and laugh as Lesnar gets his ass handed to him. Lesnar probably has one of those gerbils up there…maybe thats why they are different colors.
well done to the bulgarian but this means nothing. give fedor a rematch with mma rules this time. i know who my money would be on.
You guys say its just Sambo, but is this the tourney that he wanted to fight in and the UFC wouldn’t agree to let him fight in under their contract rules!
Can’t wait to see Brock smash mir or nog’s face, then this guy is next! hahahaaaa…..Brock will destroy him cause he’s the man!
the gerbil population has really grown
wow, as a humanitarian, i hope you find a life someday gerbil. spamming mmatko posts was funny at first, but now it’s just gay. actually, maybe not… gay people don’t deserve the insult of being compared to you.
oh, and sambo seems a bit boring compared to mma.
I actually like the gerbils. don’t get me wrong. not up the ass or anything, but they are entertaining.
sambo is not mma!
“Fedor lost on points, not on beat down. Big difference.”
No there is not. A loss is a loss. You Fedor ballwashers will say anything for the sake of rationalization.
White Gerbil pwns! Black Gerbil is a nub!
Bling bling biatches! Perhaps some day Fedor will beat a real HW challenger. Would be nice instead of seeing him defeat washed up UFC fighters and LHWs.
Just aoff the top of my head, Fedor has beaten Nogera a couple of times, Mark the Hamer Coleman, Big Daddy Goodrich, Kevin Randleman…I believe that all of these have held or do hold titles in the UFC…and he, in most cases, didn’t just beat them, he demolished them. There is no “ballwashing” going on..facts are facts. Proof is proof. Dreaming is dreaming which is exactly what anyone who thinks the UFC has ANYONE that can beat Fedor is doing.
Whoever made the comment about Lesnar samshing
Mir’s face is too late. Lesnar already smashed Mir’s face…just before Mir made him submit before he lost his leg. Lesnar doesn’t have the skill to keep the belt. Facts are facts…the proof will come.
Fedor sucks at Sambo compared to the TOP TOP Sambo fighters no suprise to me.
Platinum Gerbil1 i some what agree with you i haven’t seen him fight any Good new Crisp Fighters either they OLD or they just washed up. I would love to see him fight NOG i thnk NOG will take him this time around. Did you see the amount of times almost got him into a Arm-Bar WOW
Yeah… and Randy Couture only made the US Olympic team; and Mat Hughes never even came CLOSE to making the American Olympic team, let alone making it to the semi-finals in a world championship. What world championship did Anderson Silva ever win outside of MMA? GSP? Rampage? Forest? … Didn’t think so. Penn is the only top fighter in MMA right now who holds a world championship, and you can bet your last dime he’d be no sure thing if he tried to defend his 2000 title in 2009. This is a big “so what?”
Fedor is the greatest. So what he lost at Sambo, he won the championship for Sambo the last three years. Sambo and MMA are nothing alike. Fedor is the greatest and just because he lost once in 4 years in Sambo, which is totally different from MMA.
You’re lack of knowledge people makes me sick.
Sambo and MMA are nothing alike. End of story. Fedor is the greatest of all time. For god sakes people he lost once, he won the sambo tournament 3 years in a row before this. WAR FEDOR!!!!
Thanks for uploading this. I admire Fedor even more now. His determination to continue Combat Sambo was part of the reason he decided not to sign with the UFC, there contract wouldn’t allow him to fight in sambo. Keep doing your thing Fedor.
Fedor losing the 2008 Sambo Championships decisively in the finals is a big deal. His first lost in any combat sport since 2000. Will this affect him mentally and his performance in the upcoming Affliction fight? I don’t think so but we’ll see because AA is a big test.
u are all stupid faggor would not stand a chance aginst lesnar. the only guy the ppl think that can beat faggor is randy and he go slapped like a b!cth by lesnar. lesnar heas bet more credible oponents in 1year than faggor in the last 4 years stop kissing faggor @$$
I think Fedor’s loss at Sambo has actually done wonders for the sports popularity in north america.
UFC nuthuggers whose only knowledge of MMA is Randy Couture’s mediocre career have for the first time in their lives viewed something different. Had he won, no one would have cared.
Big props to Fedor for doing his part to spread his martial art.
And even bigger props to Fedor for taking part in the next ADCC.
Chances are pretty good that he wont win that either but many in his position would not dare to show weakness in other martial arts.
I imagine that Roger Gracie and Xande Ribeiro will be at this years ADCC.
THat would be AMAZING.
